Apple Pie Hopes. A guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo, accordian, washboard & 5 voices brim-filled with sunshine & soul! Showcasing original compositions reminescent of Traditional Appalachian, Country Blues, True-Folk Americana & Sweetwater Ballads as well as faithful interpretations & one-of-a-kind arrangements performed with authentic Vaudvillianesque showmanship. Or rather what's often referred to as, "Sophisticated Country Funk." Apple Pie Hopes. Music for all ages & occasions! Our audience has ranged from prostitutes & passerby's on the corner of 47th & International to 8-11 year old children at local daycare centers. We are yet to meet an audience that we don't charm into singing, oohing & yodelling along to our beloved interpretation of the Sugar&Gold hit, "This Kinda' Lover." (www.myspace.com/sugarandgold) We leave onlookers in stitches with wholly improvised monologues cleverly sprung into the middle of a tune with content that meanders from fruit roll-up cunnilingus to birthing super-human offspring in a barn-yard laboratory. Apple Pie Hopes will make you smile, sing & dance right along with us. A display of true Americana, pre-dating democracy & post-dating the Apocolypse...a modern-day comic book in song. Your entertainment is guaranteed. And what's for dessert? Apple pie of course!
